Question

The mouth of test tube having small quantity of water is fitted with a cork. This test tube is suspended freely with the help of a stand as shown in figure. The test tube is heated so that the water in it is converted into steam. We observe that:

a) both test tube and cork move to the right side to conserve linear momentum

b) both test tube and cork move to the left side to conserve linear momentum

c) test tube moves to the left side and the cork moves to the right side to conserve linear momentum

d) test tube remains in its position but the cork move to the right side to conserve linear momentum​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is (b) both test tube and cork move to the left side to conserve linear momentum
